Trivia
- The name of the tier appears to reference the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship wrestling tournament.
- In a Live Letter prior to the release of Dawntrail, the Japanese name of the first duty was accidentally revealed as "ライトヘビー級１", which roughly translates to "Light Heavyweight, Round 1".
- This is also the first raid tier in which each boss has a unique and original battle theme.
